[The behavior of lipids in acute viral hepatitis and chronic hepatopathies].

The dynamic changes of total lipids, beta-lipoproteids, cholesterol, free fatty acids and triglycerides levels were observed in patients with viral hepatitis B (48 patients), viral hepatitis Non A/Non B (13 patients), chronic persistent hepatic (22 patients) and liver cirrhosis (26 patients) in relation with HBV infection. Total lipids, beta-lipoproteids and cholesterol levels in serum of all patients were not significantly changed. In patients with liver cirrhosis without HBs-antigenemia, the triglycerides levels in serum were lower in exacerbation phase as well as in clinical amelioration phase of illness. The triglycerides levels in serum were not significantly changed in remaining groups of patients. In the patients with viral hepatitis B, viral hepatitis Non A/Non B and liver cirrhosis with HBs-antigenemia the primary increased plasma free fatty acids levels decreased in recovery and clinical amelioration phase of patients with liver cirrhosis.
